Limoncello Italian Restaurant in Aventura was recently voted one of the 99 “ Most Authentic Italian Restaurants in the United States” and will receive a 4 ½- star rating in a famous Italian restaurant guide to be published this coming October .

To help celebrate this honored designation, Limoncello owners Enza Michienzi and Diego Franco hosted a VIP dinner with special guests including Aventura Mayor Enid Weisman and Gerardo Antelmo, a journalist RAI and Ambassador of the Consorzio Tutela Vini del Sannio. Other guests included Cliff Schulman, Chairman of the Board of the Aventura Marketing Council World-Class Chamber of Commerce and partner in the law firm of Weiss Serota Helfman; The Hon. Michael Stern, former Aventura Commissioner and partner in Stern Bloom Media; Fernando Levy Hara, partner in McKafka Developers and Kevin Shacter, Senior Vice President of Northern Trust Bank.

During the evening, a new white wine was unveiled, Falanghina Del Sannio. Falanghina is an ancient Roman wine made from grapes grown in the porous volcanic soil of Campania in Southern Italy. Falanghina was a favorite wine of Julius Caesar and the Roman emperors, and is extraordinarily well-suited to drink with the world cuisine found at its best here in South Florida, and certainly with the exquisite flavors of Italian dishes. Limoncello Italian Restaurant is located at 19088 NE 29th Ave., Aventura 33180. 305.792.2222. info@limoncelloaventura.com.
